- The addition of the crash gate is finished and it's time to get our squeeze chute set. Now that we have the last part of our bison handling system, we can put all the pieces together so we can work our bison here on the farm. I also spent sometime hanging out in the pasture with the bison, just to see what they were up to in the middle of the day.

That machine will really help you. thanks for caring so much for these animals.
Congratulations for getting the squeeze chute and crash gate in place. It seems like a much better way than what we used to do with cows like dropping a loop on them and then trying to bulldog them to the ground. I imagine if you tried to do that with a bison you would end up in the next county having plowed a furrow with your jaw. Also they have really strong neck muscles so you would have to be a giant to turn them over. This is a much better way for these lovely social creatures, thanks for showing your ways of doing things.
Hey Dusty! I just wanted to say thanks so much for undertaking this TH-cam project. I stumbled across one of your episodes just yesterday where the Bison react to their first hay bail of the season and enjoyed it very much! Now I am getting to know everyone in the herd and am committed to watching every single episode. I haven't quite figured out how to tell who is who yet, but I'm workin on it! These majestic animals are fascinating to learn about, and as it turns out, they are a hoot to watch! I also have massive respect for you and for all that undertake this kind of work. BTW, so sorry to hear about Lucy. Seems like this new solution will be so much better for all.
Anyway, thanks again. I look forward to getting caught up on previous episodes as well as all the new stuff that is coming!
Welcome to our channel! I appreciate you following and I hope you enjoy. These animals amaze me more and more!
Thank you,
Dusty
What a great guy, Dusty.
Of course, that becomes pretty clear after watching one episode lol great guy indeed 👍
LOL, bison need the exra strength, heavy duty, Jurassic Park grade equipment!
The work you've done over the past year to the handling system, fencing, watering & gates is amazing. Great job! 😊
Great video. Ahhh the day in the life of a bison.
Elenore is a sweetheart. They look pretty comical playing. That looks like a great set up. 👍
They are such beautiful creatures.
They are truly Majestic animals!
Loved the camera mauling at the end! I imagine that's the equivalent of a bison obscene phone call.... :)
Enjoy your bison use to have a place up here in Michigan that raised Buffalo. Like to go watch them but they had to get rid of them because they kept breaking out. God bless you from Michigan
Dusty and Marissa, love ya'lls channel and bison. Wanted to give you a name or two for your next little ones to choose from. I just found out which tribe our Native family are from after searching forever. We come from the Cheraw Siouan people from the Carolinas.Pronounced Shee-Raw. I have met cousins online and we have compared our DNA and we all match. Anyway, I thought maybe Cheraw and Suali, if ya'll like those . The Cherokee called the Cheraw / Saura people Ani Suali. Well, I wanted to thank you for raising the bison. Our Native people thank you. God Bless ya'll.
Haha the intro clip lol you should use that before the title on ALL of your videos! It pretty much says it ALL! 😂👍
Edit; They're just wonderful animals, aren't they? 😇
Hopping around, actin' a fool lol they're clearly very comfortable and happy there together.
They make ME smile when it's been a rough day and I'm only watching them on a screen! It must be awesome having them around. 👍
I'm getting SUPER addicted to this channel.
you're doing a great job Dusty.
Thank you Danny
Too funny how they run....looking good
New sub, YT recommended your YT channel, and they finally got it right, 👍👌❤🇨🇦
Love watching those bison.
Beautiful beasts , longing to see so many more walking in farm fields at least.
We should put them back on the Nickel, what is more American?
@@Pisti846 YES, l agree. I can't explain my fasination with these BEAUTIFUL animals but, they seem almost mystical to me. My brother raised beefalos for awhile but, Not the same!! Don't miss a SHOW. Thanks Dusty for all you do!!! 🤗🇺🇸 Judy
Great series! We should put them back on the Nickel, what is more American?
I love how they run
Great video. I was concerned that the squeeze shoot would tip the tractor. The bison are so fun to watch, especially when they are on the move.
The whole process intrigues me
another good day
I love tío watch them run once they get their speed up they do a hopping thing its like what a kangaroo does. Front legs together then the back legs. I wonder if they dont mind the dog as much as they have fun chasing him. One thing i have noticed is they love to run. It would be fun to teach a young one to run on command then you could have races. Just a thought. I know youre busy work the cabins also but look up tom pemberton on you tube and see the brushes he has. The one they put up in the field the cows gathered around him and couldnt wait to get to the brush. How old is your little girl? Congratulations !! The fun is just starting she will be daddys little girl.
Beautiful
Dusty, you're a pioneer in a manner of speaking, but safety is your main goal at first. Just take it slow, learn, make and learn from your mistakes, etc. You'll do well.
May GOD BLESS
I’ve been watching you for awhile now and enjoy the Bison and the work you do. I have one question what do you do with them. Trust me when I say if I still had my farm I would definitely have some just to watch. They are beautiful beasts.
Joseph,
I am just trying to grow my herd. It takes bison a while to reproduce and grow a herd. I want to eventually have a large enough herd to sell some for breeding and for meat. I hope to be at that point soon. Thank you!
They are spoiled, as they should be. Awesome.
Thank you for sharing this experience, happy you got your squeeze chute. Looks good, do you plan on painting the addition? Loved watching your bison, some seemed to be feeling rather frisky and sweet eleanor was just chillin. Then at the end one thought your camera base was a popsicle. The more I watch your bison it's at times watching kids feeling froggy or bored. Question have you ever thought about putting one of those large balls that some people put I with their horses? If you don't think they could get injured in any way it might make for a comical video, just a thought. What do you think about it. I think your bull would probably be the first to go after it. Let me know ok, definitely enjoyed all of your video, everyone looks great. Take care a d best always Rusty
Yeah, I gotta paint it and the alley systems as well.
Yes I actually have! Haha I think I'm going to get one for them. Great idea!
@@CrossTimbersBison Dusty, the Keepers out here at the San Francisco Zoo put a couple in for their Rhinos. My Wife and I were out there one afternoon and I swear I must have spent 2 hours watching this monster act like a puppy bashing this thing about. He even interacted with me a little bit! I'm thinkin your Bison would love it.
I dont now what your vet told u to give but they cant be much different than a cow have u given her a magnet she may have hardware it will help and give her multi men 90 it a vitamin mix and see if that helps her between the two it should make some improvement hope it helps if u nothing else ask your vet if he would try that good luck and have a great 2020 and be safe
New subscriber, love watching you and your bison. When your bison start shedding will you harvest the fur. I’m sure you know spun into yarn 🧶 bison is the warmest.
Easy to play Monday morning quarterback, but it might have worked better to have been on the other side of the chute and backed in. Lol
Most definitely need a so called "crash gate" or someone will get hurt, you might find solid sides on the squeeze could be advantageous, I'm not sold on the solid pinning of the crash gate, we use a chain with slight play in gate closing
LOVE BISON

was this squeeze shoot for the new ranch place because i thought yall had one at the other place. Just wandering. I sure do love watching yalls videos
You left your camera up to see what they do, 😆they play, especially if there is one tormentor
Would you mind sharing the dimensions of your crash gate? I'd like to try to build one for my chute.
I am thinking your gate system , squeeze chute etc. needs to be electronic or air activated. Works better and you are in control of your bison. Just a suggestion.
I'd like to see horses on your ranch.
Them and bison don't good together inside of a fence unfortunately.
Do they ever get groomed like cows do?
By the way what does the hump consist of. ?
You decide to sell it at bison meat hit me up
Bison chillin' out. Are they comfortable enough with you that they would let you walk up and pet them?
I accidentally mistyped "bison" as "boson" and it occurred to me you should name one of your bison "Higgs", in honor of the Higgs Boson, or "God particle" in particle physics.
Every thing on there has to be oiled.
Watch you fingers hands in that. I worked with over a 200 head herd. If you ever want to talk mail me at mtretts@ gm.
I’m in western New York
I had a pet Bull named Hulk. I would hand feed him everyday. Then one day I came home and went to feed him- he was gone. Our freezer became full after Hulk left. 😢
Janet Kight that’s so cruel 😩
Janet Kight, Sorry to hear that!! Mine told me they were selling all the cows. I just didn't think they meant my pet calf. I know how you felt. Came home from school & she was gone. Now 60 yrs later l understand but never got over it. God bless you. 🐂 🐂 💕🤗
put a shed over it or it wont last long
We will!
That self catching head gate is not going to work very well
Please explain to us why it won't work, do you have experience with bison, your vast knowledge on the subject is most welcome
Pocket Change my family has been in the buffalo business for the last 40 years. And we’ve seen people that have tried self catching gates and large bulls and cows have a hard time getting there head in and there’s so many moving parts that they eventually get torn right off the hinges. Wasn’t meant to be rude.
@@JackMehoff1994 and neither was I , so how does one vacci ate a buffalo anyways, blow darts, or is there a method that is safe for the animal as well as the handler,
Pocket Change with a squeeze chute exactly like that. But I don’t think the self catching head gate that locks them in by their neck will work very good
@@JackMehoff1994 not much of a neck on a bison, head and shoulders only, I am interested to see what happens, about an hour from where I live in Canada there are three very large bison ranches, and ome large elk ranch, both are used to replenish the breeds and surplus is for the market, I buy half of one each year, some people mix it with ground beef as well, they are very majestic animals, but unlike cattle totally unpredictable, my dad has a 500 sow barn as there is very little future in cattle at the present.
Why do you play music ?
Probably because it his channel,
@@pocketchange1951 Hahahaha
The Bison stuff is very interesting from the level you are working them. There is one thing I wish you would spend more time with a script or another message system to get your ideas together for the presentation. You are rough to listen to often getting what you are talking about mixed up or repeating yourself. You have a good opportunity to get organized and become a good speaker on Bison Management but it will take some effort on your part.
I don't need to see your face when you are talking
Well, I do. I want to see that handsome face of his!
Me too I want to see Dusty
@Bob Smith I honestly don't need you to watch my channel.
Cross Timbers Bison fully agree. Bye Bob
Bob Smith, Sorry you are so MISERABLE, & rude!!! Bye😠
New subscriber, love watching you and your bison. When your bison start shedding will you harvest the fur? I’m sure you know spun into yarn 🧶 bison is the warmest.
Yes, I have seen some of the products they make from it. Mine will start shedding in April and May.
